谁愿看到自己的死亡过程?抛开感性的想像,理性的科学若能令你完成这项任务,不知道有多少人愿意尝试?答案低于50%则说明人还是感性的!但我没有统计过。

在写这篇影评前有必要将故事讲述一遍,不过确切地说,本片虽然不足三十分钟,但笔者却有种精神崩溃的感觉,我想大多数观众都会有这种感觉的,这与影片的表现风格是密切相关的,而影片所表现的故事及主题更是令人必须静下心来细心琢磨。
故事假定了一个重大的背景
From a philosophical point of view, La Jetee is an existentialist tale of doomed existence, inevitability, and predetermined death. And what better way to express this idea than by using lifeless photographs to tell the story of a life that is only perceived as such? If the main character is trapped in a time loop and sees his death as a child, what reasons does he have to believe he has actually existed?
Lasting 29 minutes, shot in black and white and consisting almost entirely of still photographs – imaginatively blended with dissolves, wipes and fades – this is the bare bones of science fiction. It highlights why we are attracted to SF in the first place: not for bug-eyed aliens or galaxy-hopping spaceships, but for the way in which the form can twist our most cherished versions of reality inside out.
第三次大战后,巴黎被夷为平地。扑来而来的残垣断壁,阒无一人。人惧怕迷漫在空气的辐射,蛇鼠一般躲到地下。人已囿限于空间,唯一的生存希望在时间。
人体试验已在二战成谶。三战别出心裁,将战俘投用于时间穿越的实验;希冀在过去和未来为四面楚歌的现在求生路。和置身纳粹毒气室一样,穿越时间的人有些死了,也有些疯了。当权者随即将目光转移至主人公身上。
“普通时刻不会凝固成记忆,只有在那些瞬间露出它们的伤痕时,你才会记住它们。” 主人公执着于一个画面,出自了无战争纷扰的童年。近郊的奥利机场,日落的观景台,女人的脸。借由对它的执念,他想象/记忆起了三战前的时光。
《堤》惊为天人。播放时我一度手足无措,不知是要沉浸其中,还是速记些过目即忘的细节。略加整理的口白如一碗罗勒籽,遇水膨胀至小时常喝的明珠果模样。
Pang在新书末章讲说,想象力的贫乏不过是对现状的麻木认可而已(中国梦)。 面临黯淡无光的六十年代(集中营、广岛长崎),Chris Marker一反Alain Resnais等人的写实风格(如《夜与雾》),借《堤》提醒我们
《堤》确实是一部实验性的科幻片,但与其说它是科幻片不如定义它为爱情片。一个人在回忆中奔向死亡,在死亡路上去爱,用最心痛的回忆瞬间,穿越时光去奔向爱。
法国新浪潮的影响之下,《堤》全部使用的是跳切,其实从一开始习惯于流动影响观感的我观感极差,甚至看到10min左右在法国人飞速旁白的讲解下,我感觉完全就是没必要的刻意使用定帧。不过,直到出现男主人公的心上女子眨眼的那一瞬间,才突然感觉到“陷进去了”,一种能够共情男主的心动就出现了。一直以固定节奏、旁白叙事讲述,在最后男主回到过去
堤:完美!值得仔细品味
